A simple on-off switch,  three banana plugs\/binding posts, (+5 volts\/-9 volts\/ground) and an Amphehol 4 pin socket for connecting power to the chassis make up the controls and connections on the front.  On the back is a fuse and fitting for passing the AC power cord through the back of the chassis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"745\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Inside-Power-Supple-745x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Inside-Power-Supple-745x1024.jpg 745w, http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Inside-Power-Supple-218x300.jpg 218w, http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Inside-Power-Supple-768x1055.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Inside-Power-Supple-1118x1536.jpg 1118w, http:\/\/www.willegal.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Inside-Power-Supple.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The inside reveals space at the top of the picture for a 110 volt AC fan which is bolted to the cover. The cover has ventilation holes drilled in both ends to allow the fan to draw in cooling air. Two Power-One supplies make up the power supplies.  One is 5 volts and the other is a Power-One 12-15 volt supply modified to output 9 volts.  The positive output of the 9 volt supply is connected to the negative output of the 5 volt supply which becomes ground for the system.  The negative output of the 9 volt supply becomes -9 and the positive output of the 5 volt supply supplies +5 volts to the system.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, the whole thing is an extremely simple affair, the only complication being the changing of a resistor in order to covert the 12-15 volt supply to a 9 volt supply.  This unit did not actually use banana plugs for power delivery to peripherals, but ordinary hook-up wire connected to the binding posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my next post I will describe the problem with the power supply and how I resolved it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the front of the factory power supply that is part of the SCELBI-8B system described in the last post.
